'Siracusa based producer Alex Micca serves up 2 visceral cuts that represent his undeniable knack for bridging old and new, galvanised with a dose of the avant-garde. 'What You Doing For' kicks the EP off with some shimmering, cinematic flair. A throbbing Trance line ducks under a weapons-grade kick while snares shuffle out an irresistible rhythm. White-hot filters carve synths into lasers as tension ladders toward a widescreen breakdown that cracks the track open, expanding its magnitude and lifting it to a scale that sits it comfortably in amongst the biggest and busiest festival floors. 'Take Control' follows up with a frenetic hybrid that leaves a trail of blood as it traverses Electroclash, Techno and Trance. Teeth are bared from the get go as gnarled side-chained signals ricochet off of a boxing snare drum and savage stabs that recall the Dim Mak heyday. Luscious pads form little pockets of contrasting serenity, punctuating progress in an otherwise deadly weapon that will push sound systems right to their outer limits.'
